New Skills From working on Assignment 5, I learned more on how to link icons and control how a powerpoint can be viewed outside of regular navigation. I learned more on how to manipulate text boxes and create a particular layout for the powerpoint slides which was very interesting to discover as I've always used the plain format given when clicking for a new slide. I did not care for the way that I had to be incredibly particular and detail-oriented to make each button work and navigate to where I desired and not follow regular navigation in the slideshow. To improve on this assignment next time, I think that I would dedicate more time to perfect the vision I had for the review game I created and to also include more information for each slide for students to review information that they answered incorrectly on the questions. Data Collection Tools I think I will use data collection tools in order to communicate with parents and students on information that is collected to ensure th

 Experiences in EME 2040 I very much enjoyed my experience in this class with my classmates and professor, as it is quite different from my other classes that I've had thus far at Florida State University. I like that there as a lot of freedom to create what we wanted how we desired for our future classrooms and to learn in our desired subjects and age range where possible. We regularly collaborated with classmates and I enjoyed getting to know how others thought about my ideas and learning new things and perspectives that I would have never thought of. I did dislike that we used relatively complicated tools at times and that we sometimes were unable to the most creative due to guidelines on some assignments, cost of certain programs being an obstacle as well. for example, weekly not allowing full freedom on their free plan. To improve the classroom experience, I would choose to research new and free ways in which to introduce emerging technology and to allow for more fun tools in

 Web Design Assignment New Skills While working on the Web Design Assignment, I used a very basic and modern design aesthetic and decided to make the website very user-friendly and easy to maneuver around for both students and parents ease of access. I actually consulted a resource that helped me design the website so that those with attention disabilities could use it without issue as I've known people in the past that have struggled in this respect. I made sure to have information in multiple spots in different formats, like the curriculum for parents in two spots (so they're aware of topics and can assist at home) with a link to a comprehensive website, and also put the helpful sources (videos) that accompanied this curriculum for the students to use for help in comprehension. I really liked this activity though I have personally used weekly in the past in a professional setting so it was relatively easy for me to utilize and I had no real issues in putting the site together

 Teacher Pages A lot of teacher being required to maintain pages for their classroom is something that makes sense to me for the parent or student, having access to important information quickly, but requiring this is not something that I agree with. Teachers already provide information to parents and teachers through handouts and emails and newsletter, to expect another way of communication that may or may not be consumed, is a waste of time, as it only serves as a way to organize information more effectively and exhibits proficiency of technology. Publicly, teacher pages and websites often feature resources and information on the students' curriculum, also including ways for parents to be involved through purchasing supplies or volunteer work. The expectation of an additional medium to display the same information over again is pointless and if handouts and other forms of communication were discontinued in exchange for creating a webpage, I'd be all for it, one concise way to

 Diigo Experience I personally enjoyed learning about Diigo and I think it's a wonderful tool to bookmark information and annotate websites, but it's not really something I'm personally interested in. there are some limitations and tools that I wish were included in the features Diigo has with its' annotation feature, though the bookmark part of the software does seem all inclusive and able to be organized efficiently. I like how searchable information is on the bookmark section, if and only if the keywords and tags in addition to the comment on the bookmark is thorough and thought through to make sure it is actually searchable for the desired information, otherwise it's basically useless in my mind. the annotation capabilities we went through were cool but I would've like for the sticky-note feature to be more user friendly and able to be resized to fit the website page for easier access to them without compromising the information on the website which may or m
